Online trading in financial instruments such as stocks, options, futures, foreign exchange, foreign securities and bonds may involve a significant risk of loss. Trading in derivatives such as options and futures, as well as trading on margin (borrowing), covered short selling and option writing, involve significant risks and are not suitable for all investors, but only for experienced investors with a high risk-bearing capacity. There is a risk that you may lose more capital than you originally invested. For more information on interest rates for margin loans, please visit When trading financial instruments on foreign exchanges in foreign currency, there is also a currency fluctuation risk and the currency lending required for this will cause you further costs. Forex trading (currency trading) involves a significant potential for loss. The settlement date may vary for Forex transactions due to differences between time zones and different holidays. Therefore, if you trade across different Forex markets, you may need to borrow capital to settle Forex transactions. Please note that in this case, any borrowing interest incurred must be included in the calculation of the cost of cross-market transactions.
Customers must read the relevant risk information documents, for example, on trading on margin, trading in standardized options and futures in the "Warnings and Disclosures" section of Interactive Brokers' website before commencing trading activities -

Update: On July 1st 2021, Interactive Brokers removed all inactivity fees! That means you can now sign up directly with Interactive Brokers, without the need of using an introducing broker like CapTrader to get rid of monthly fees. I left the rest of the post unchanged.

The most important part for most of you is probably that they still allow us European investors to have an Interactive Brokers account without paying any monthly inactivity fees, as they are licensed in Europe.
The integrated smart routing feature always tries to find you the lowest available price for your ETF or stock on all available exchanges when you place an order. The web interface also shows you your estimated fees before you place an order, so there should be no surprises.
Admittedly, the Interactive Brokers interface is not the most beginner friendly, but I hope I was able to at least show you how to buy ETFs using your account and to provide you with a bit of extra information.
Hello!
I recently opened up an Interactive Brokers account. Today, I got email from IB that says:
We have decided to eliminate our monthly inactivity fee so there are no impediments to maintaining an account with IBKR. Effective July 1, 2021, you will no longer be charged USD 10 for not maintaining a minimum balance or transaction activity.
I have already contacted IB, they will do nothing to help me out, but ban me 6 months after my accounts are closed.
From what I understand it really depends on where you signed up initially. If you did with IB or any other IBroker you are fine. If you signed up with CapTrader, you are trapped. They neither unlink accounts signed up with them, nor approve any additional account request with IB directly.
Think it is also the reason why some users on redit where able to leave, while others had to workarround (like moving into an account of family member for the 6 month period).
Yes it sucks.. never seen a company doing such shady practice of blocking their (ex-)customers on 3rd parties
Hi,
there is still an advantage for opening an account at Captrader.
If you are from some central European countries (EU-member states), IB will open an accunt for you at IBCE (Hungary subsidiary) and you cannot choose IBIE (IB Ireland). There is a huge difference in my opinion between IBCE and IBIE. But Captrader opens all accounts for EU residents at IBIE (Ireland).
I will now open an account at Captrader, but I am afraid to delink it, because they could switch it from IBIE to IBCE? Your opinion?

Margin is the amount of collateral to cover any credit risks that may arise during your trading operations. It is expressed as the percentage of position size (e.g. 5% or 1%), and you have to have funds in your trading account to ensure sufficient margin.
A forex account at CAPTRADER is a trading account that you will hold and that will work similarly to your bank account, but with the difference that it is primarily issued with the purpose of trading on currencies.
